Tascam CA-XLR2d-C XLR Microphone Adapter Canon Kit

The Tascam CA-XLR2d-C is a purpose-built XLR microphone adapter designed to expand the audio capabilities of Canon and FUJIFILM mirrorless cameras. It mounts directly onto the camera's accessory hot shoe and provides two XLR/TRS combo input terminals, enabling filmmakers and content creators to connect professional microphones and line-level audio sources that would otherwise be incompatible with a mirrorless camera body. The adapter features a high-performance HDDA (Hisense Discrete Device Architecture) mic preamplifier that delivers low noise and a wide dynamic range, along with +48V phantom power for condenser microphones.

What sets the CA-XLR2d-C apart from traditional XLR adapters is its digital audio path. Rather than feeding an analog signal into the camera's 3.5mm mic input, the adapter uses a high-performance AD converter to transmit digital audio directly through the hot shoe connection. This preserves audio fidelity by bypassing the camera's internal analog-to-digital conversion. Power is also supplied through the hot shoe, so there are no extra batteries to manage. Each input offers independent microphone/line level switching and gain control, giving users precise control over their audio mix. For videographers who need professional audio quality without carrying a separate field recorder, the CA-XLR2d-C provides a streamlined, all-in-one solution that keeps the camera rig compact and manageable.
